Answer to the water issue

For those who would rather take their water than buy it for $2.99 from Bon Voyage.

I saw it once at our local Costco...it was a roadshow event, though, so they don't normally sell it.

i think this thread has questionable motives, but sure i'll bite.

looks like it's over 12 oz. sorry, no go. :p

I am guessing it costs more too, what's the motivation to tote this over having water delivered to your room

I can hear the smugglers wheels turning in their head. Carefully undo the top, pour water on your plants and refill with booze and glue back together.

And they can't even see to shake it. ;)

I hear your wheels turning!:D

The ship's water is MORE than fine...no need to carry cases of the stuff!

Ridiculous..... :eek:

That's a lot more expensive than the water being sold by CCL.

here's my 2 cents ...fwiw.

if the desalinated water made on the ship/s is good enough for our Navy boys....its good enough for me. The cruise industry uses the same processes and same type of equipment for "making water" that the Navy has been using for eons... and its definitely better than the local water here.

I never was one for lugging beverages onboard anyway...this just drives home the point.

My purpose in buying the water is for the excursions. I know I can drink the water on the ship but I can't carry that with me when I leave the ship. The bottles I purchased will be delivered to my cabin so I have them & I don't have to carry it on with me. Makes sense to me.

the $2.99 water 12 pack offered by CCL is more then fair.

You dont have to haul it or even pay deposit on the dang bottles

Just bring an Eco-friendly refillable bottle from home. We bring the ones that we take to the gym when we are home. Fill it up and off on your excursion you go!

Hmmm. Boxed water. Might be kind of tricky to transport, especially if you're flying. It wouldn't take much for one of the cartons to get punctured or develop a leak. No thanks. I'll pass. Ice and water are FREE at the Lido Beverage Station 24/7. If we need a bottle of water or two for a shore excursion, we can get them on our way off of the ship. No need to buy a twelve pack.

We bring a wide mouth plastic bottle that we fill with ice and take on excursions. And we see no problems with the ships water

Am I missing something here? I took this post as a perfect joke with showing the boxed water as a carry on (and no one would). The answers I'm seeing show no humor as if you meant it.:)

I was thinking the same thing! Where is everyone's sense of humor?

Lol thanks for the laugh OP!

So OP, you want to lug 11lbs of boxed water (9 bottles) at $20 (plus any extra luggage weight tariff if you fly in) to avoid buying 12 bottles at $3 and not having to carry on the ship?:confused: Ohhkaay.

I noticed all the "healthy" verbiage in the product's hype on the Amazon link but then they want to use municipal water, LOL, near the source, as if the "water you now drink damages the environment and kills trees and animals" argument doesn't apply to local municipal water, which is pretty darn "pure" at the plant, but picks up impurities in the distribution system.

As one reviewer opined, "BS."

Yea when I saw that they were changing their policies to make smuggling alcohol on board more difficult I had a good laugh. If anything it's now even easier to get it on board. In more drink appropriate portion sizes too, juice boxes anyone? I promise you it won't be grape juice! :D

Just spend the 3 dollars..

I'm with you on this issue.

THose water cartons are certainly not the answer to the water issue!

The 3 bucks for the 12 pack at CCL IS the answer!

I am far too lazy to lug on my favorite sodas or water - I make do with what the ship has for the week or so I am on board, and happily drink the ships water.

That being said - for $2.99 delivered to my room, I happily bought 2 cases of water! I am happy with the new plan and hoping it helps make the lines go more quickly.
